Child porn convict's sentencing resumes

Cape Town - The sentencing of Johannes Kleinhans, for a string of sex crimes against girls, is expected to resume in the Parow Regional Court on Thursday.

The 74-year-old director of companies has been convicted on 95 charges, including assault and possession of child pornography.

Sentencing was postponed last year because his lawyer, Johannes Grobbelaar, needed to study the State's psychiatric report and discuss it with his client. The defence would also seek a second opinion.

Prior to his arrest, Kleinhans had befriended the parents of three pubescent girls, and showered the families with gifts and money over a protracted period to gain their confidence.

The magistrate asked State prosecutor Herculine Swart and Grobbelaar to complete their sentencing testimony on Thursday, so the court could use the following day to focus entirely on the sentence to be imposed.

Give the man to the brothers, they will sort him out and I won't mind at all. This is one high priority sickness that must be removed for society with extreme prejudice.

Disgusting pervert. There is no place for people like this. They need to be eliminated like any other plague.

HE is obviously sexually deprived. Put him in jail where his every need will be fulfilled.

chop his head and nuts off in public. Instil fear in those who have the same tendency.

He even looks deranged. Scum!

Sick, perverted pig! He should be castrated in public, and then thrown in jail to become some big gangster criminal's girly boy. The guys in jail will sort him out quick sticks, they hate guys like this. He will pay for his crimes by being violated himself.

Shooting him between the eyes is too quick...it should be agonising, as it probably was for his victims...No place in society for a sicko like this, remove him forever!
